Patented Aug. 4, 1931 STEPHEN Bonuss, or BunArEsr. HUNGARY TUBE CONTAINER Application filed May 3, 1929, Serial No. 380,159, and in Hungary May 4, 1928.

My invention relates to tube-containers, a strip? and at its more particularly to tube-containers for coloured liquids or plastic material, for instance, toilet-Water, honey,oil-paints, etc.

The object of my invention is to provide a tube-container WhlCh shows the colour of its contents without being brittle like glass.

My invention consists in a tube-container consisting of flexible transparent material. everybody to recognize the colour of their contents exactly without opening the tube and they can be transported and stored in any manner since they are not breakable.

The tube may consist of any materialmade of cellulose, like celluloid, cellasol, etc. If acidific materials are to be filled into the tube, it is advantageous to make the tube of acid proof material, like cellophan. phan is a hydrated cellulose, a product ver 7 similar to paper, but containing enoug water'to make it transparent. It ma be produced either by prolonged heating 0 pulp or by chemical means. It is defined in Lock- Woods Classifications and Definitions of P7aper Revised Edition, 1928, pages 26 and 2 In the accompanying drawings there are illustrated tube-containers according. to the invention.

Fig. 1 is a view of a tube-container being closed at both ends permanently,

Fig. 2 is a view of a tube-container having an outlet at one end of its ends,

Fig. 3 is a View of a tube-container closed at one of its ends by a cork.

Referring to Fig. 1, the container consists in the tube 1 made of flexible transparent material and is closed at both ends by metal StItJlPS 2 pressed upon the folded ends of the tu e.

The container shown in Fig. 2 is at one of its ends closed in the same way as the one in Fig. 1 and has at its other end an outlet consisting in a part 3 fastened to the tube and ending in a pipe 4 which is provided with a screw-thread 5. The outlet is closed by a removable head 6 being screwed upon the pipe 4.

In F ig. 3 the tube 1 is closed at one end by being Cellootherend by a cork 7. The tube container may be made out .of long tubes cutting off short pieces according to the desired length of the container or by'rolling plates of the same material over a mandrel and sticking the edges of the plates one to another.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my invention and of flexible transparent material by in what manner it is to be performed, what I claim is:

In a tube container, in combination, a tube -body consisting of cellophan, a metal strip pressed upon one fold u end of said tube, a cylindrical part fastened to the other end of said tube ending in a pipe provided with a screw-thread and a head adapted to be screwed upon said pipe.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature.

STEPHEN BORUSS.
